Looking for a cheap but good motherboard for an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

[xAceLittleGuy]

I have an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, four 1Gb DDR2 667Mhz sticks of RAM, and a GTX 650 Ti with a 500W PSU. I am not looking to OC anything. I just require a MOBO compatible with all of these things, but all the MOBOs I've found are rather expensive or not sold anymore. Can anyone lend a hand and point me in the right direction, please? Thank you for any help. (old/spare compatible motherboard donations are welcome, lol)

775 has been out of production many years now. You are sentenced to whatever is left over, used or NOS.

I saw my Asus P5Q Pro motherboard going for anything from £20-£45 on eBay over the last month.... less than half the "retail" price of £80-£120 - from whoever is still stocking a motherboard this old...

P45 chipset and a few decent extras - I'd certainly recommend them!

If you can wait a couple of weeks, mine will be on there, but I'll probably be selling it on eBay as a bundle - with CPU (C2QX6850), 8Gb OCZ Reaper CAS5@1066Mhz (4 DIMMS) and a Zalman 9700 cooler. I'm not expecting it'll fetch that much though.

Wow.... that said, the memory on eBay is going for anything from £25-£75 per PAIR, so I might break it all up!
